Brown Sugar Huat Kueh 椰糖开花小发糕

We call these 'ooo teng huat kueh'(hokkien) or apam gula melaka in malays. My girls loves soft, fluffy, moist and fragnant cake likes fatt koh. It was so warm now and I'm too lazy to bake chiffon cake for them and I made these. It is very healthy and contains no oil at all---- good for the line.
